Its out of a 99 fuso f3 with the aw450 so it will bolt rite to my trans no issues. And the starter and oil pan and all that shouldbbe ok then i just have to adres the mounts. I cant remember witch ones @Fromage used but maby sombody knows. Whats heart breaking is i been planning this swap for two years. Amd i serious measured and checked i knew i was going to havw clearance issues but good god not that dam bad. But i will say this for amybody that trys it. If you dont mind a dorky 4 inch body life amd drilling a fire wall hole for your turbo and bashing the bashing the passenger side of the oil pan in 3 inches it will work with a 3 inch lift. But half assing stuff is not how i roll and i love my cruiser .

well from what i can gather the 1at 2 at and 3at use the same bolt pattern and the same gear. however what has me confused is the need for electronics on a p pump . it seems that ether a 2at or 1 at pump is whati need but not for sure
wish i could have just been able to use my isuzu

mechanical throttle and fuel screw is what iam after cuz compushift is building me a trans program for this set up so they will need a mechanical throttle forthe computer to read and it just makes thing so uch simpler so i would rather just buy a full p pump rather than wire a bunch of s***

iam not 100 % on this but i do think i can swap out my 3at pump with a 1at and it should work just fine @mjosoba @anothernord could you guys help me confirm this ?
Hola. So... I don’t know anything about the Mitsu’s, but I read all the Mitsu swap threads I could find on the tail end of our 15 hour drive to NY today. I think this will help you.
Mitsubishi 4D34-2AT3B diesel swap into 96 FZJ80
Yiu prob already read it, but start at post 266 I think. Page 14 if I remember. I think this will cover all you need. And it looks like you can run the AW450 with what you have, changing a few things, and not need to get a compushift. I think you’ll need the earlier ECU or TCM. But this will help I hope. Sorry I can’t actually help.

Its ok man i thank you for the help . info is the best weapon..
Question about the Isuzu install.
Why was it so important to have the trans cross member in the original spot?
Why not position the engine, and extend or shorten driveshafts to work with a different trans location.
Reading your posts (from the sidelines) sounds like you've partly tossed it in because of the trans cross member not bolting up.

Well it saves time and money if you can do that and the 4he1s oil pan is to wide to go any farther forward and obvoiusly can bot go back . I have a 3 inch lift on mine and it still wont clear the pinion shaft flange . So even if it fits you have no suspention articulation.

@mudgudgeon trust me i thought about all possablitys before i had no choice but to get te mitsy. now if i wanted a 4 inch body lift and beat the hell out of the oil pan and drill a holt in the passenger fire wall for the turbo i could make it work but i Dont want to beat on it .

The idea for most of us anyway is to engineer literaly an easy nuts and bolts swap with out a bunch of mess or modding . Now if we had decent acess to the jdm diesels and they didnt cost 15k to bring here that would be nice but sence we are the bastards of the epa we got the shaft on that.
